Would this be a 712?   Looks like TOL to me!   And only about 25 minutes away IF anyone wants me to grab it for them, EMAIL ME IF YOU DO!

If LLMaytag hadn't just gotten his new SQ, I would *insist* that he get this washer.  It was the only Maytag I owned and I loved it -- except for the 1.5 minute rinse.

I was wondering that too Drew.  I wasn't sure if those extra two buttons on the far left of the panel meant extra rinse or suds saver.  I did't think Maytag offered the 2nd rinse option this early in the "right hand knob" panel design.

I don't think the extra rinse really came out as a feature until the LAT's except maybe in the electronic controlled LA9900... hmmmm... Now I'm going to have to think about that...

Looks like an 810 to me. I don't think that the 810 was ever offered as a sud-saver. You had to go down one level to the 710 to get the suds-saver. As you can see from the pic, the buttons on the far left are whether the soak automatically advances to wash ot not.

Here's the next page of the *10 series brochure. The previous pict was the cover. According to this the 810 was NOT available with the suds-saver. The 710 & 510 were.

It's so cool here, how almost always, someone has the answer, even if you have to wait a while. That's one of the things I most love about Automatic Washer.

Yeah Mark is right, that is a 810 for sure. It looks similar to a 410, but the 410S/Suds saver model does not exist, neither does the 810S. The extra keys were for the Soak option, which allowed you to select if you wanted it to carry over and continue washing after the soak, or just to drain out the water and finish once the soak cycle finished.

The extra rinse feature started to become prominent in the LAT series machines, but the only A1000 series machine that offered an extra rinse option other then the A9900 was the non-digital A9800. I always wondered why MT never had extra rinse options on any of their machines for damn near 30 years while other manufacturers like GE, WP, KM etc... all had an extra rinse option.

If I lived in the US, I would love to have this machine! Silly Canada.

That pesky soak option...

Thanks for the catalog posting. I wasn't sure and it's been a long time since I laid eyes on a 810 in the flesh... I have also wondered why it took Maytag so long to join the extra rinse bandwagon.

My guess is

that if anyone wanted an extra rinse, they could go to the machine and dial an extra rinse by hand.


It's not rocket algebra.

That would involve remaining near the washing machine, going down to reset then start the thing, go back to whatever one was doing and return once the second (final)rinse was done.

Given how many American homes have washers and dryers in basements or first floor laundry areas when the home could be several stories, there can be a good arguement made for a built in second rinse function.

You hit it on the head, Laundress, BUT...

another reason for the extra rinse option could be that the majority of Americans are lazy enough that even if the washer and dryer were right next to the recliner, they'd ignore the end of cycle buzzer for hours if not days... LOL!

Geraldine, my mom of 83

mickeyd's profile picture

had a one-rinse-only Kitchen Aid for years and always returned to the basement to inititate the second rinse. Only for her, that meant a WHOLE new cycle, confirmed rinsaholic that she sweetly is. Yes, she would start a full cycle. No soap no bleach, softener sometimes. This went on for 20 years. Poor Lake Erie.

 

A few Christmases ago, I bought her a new KA which was wearing a Maytag Disguise. She loves it. So does Lake Erie, since she now settles for the simple second rinse, selecting the button. My mother is delighted not to have to go downstairs again till the load is fully rinsed and ready for the dryer. She says it reminds her of her first washer a Frigidaire WO-65 "which rinsed twice without being asked." ;'D

 

Long live the second rinse BUZZER!!!
